My Notes on the Plant Paradox
After fighting an autoimmune disease that almost killed me, I found the best health I’ve had in years through Dr. Stephen Gundry’s book, The Plant Paradox. I truly believe his book changed my entire life, not only my diet but also my perspective on what I put into my body. This is not just another diet book!
Dr. Gundry’s protocol not only teaches you how to remove lectins from your diet but also how to follow a low-sugar and low-carbohydrate diet. The Plant Paradox will teach you which types of dairy, over-the-counter medication, environmental toxins, industrial oils, cleaning products, and specific animal proteins you should remove from your life to feel the best you’ve ever felt.
If you’ve found this page, chances are that you’ve already heard of the Plant Paradox. But if you haven’t read it yet… Please. Please. Please read it and then come back and find me. After reading the Plant Paradox, you will have a much better understanding of how to use all the resources on Lectin Free Wife.
After all, my journey with my own health inspired me to create Lectin Free Wife to help other Plant Paradox followers find recipes and ideas on how to continue their own journey for a healthy lifestyle with good gut health, reduced inflammation, and decreased autoimmune diseases.
If you haven’t already… go get your copy of The Plant Paradox and change your life forever!

Dear Reader,
Are you curious why I chose Lectin Free Wife for my name? It’s a pretty simple answer. Through my entire journey, my hubby has shown me unconditional love and support. Period. He has seen me at my worst, yet he still managed to make me smile no matter what had been thrown at me. The lectin-free road has not been easy and there have been many learning curves along the way. I laugh now, but I’ve subjected my husband and family to many terrible dinners… dare I say, epic fails, but no matter how dinner turned out, he still encouraged me to keep going and continue finding ways to prepare foods that would keep us healthy.
It was my husband that encouraged me to start this website as a creative outlet where I can share my lectin-free experiences (the good, the bad, & the ugly, so hopefully you don’t make all the same mistakes I did) & share my story. We both agreed, that if sharing this story or creating this site only helps one person, it would be worth it. It is my tribute of gratitude for all of my husband’s unconditional support that lead me to name this site Lectin Free Wife. My goal is to help people by make the lectin-free lifestyle easier than it has ever been by developing & sharing new, easy to follow, lectin-free recipes, that you & your family will love. THIS is only the beginning of my journey to better health AND living a lot longer than 5 years.
Learning to substitute new products, lectin free flours, and experimenting with foods we have never eaten before was quite traumatic for our whole house at times. I’ll be the first one to admit how discouraging it can be when you step out of your comfort zone, pour your heart into a meal, only for it to come out inedible. Don’t forget how expensive it can be too. If you are at the place I just described then I’d like to encourage you to keep going, it gets better. I hope that you will use my site as a resource to build your confidence and begin to experiment on your own.
